This report presents the latest data on expansion and withdrawal among the galaxy's minor factions.<br />

Here are the latest factions to have expanded into new systems:<br />

HIP 10570 Constitution Party<br />

Expansions occur when a minor faction reaches a sufficient level of influence and there is a populated system within striking distance. Expansion is costly, so when a faction expands, the wealth and development level of the system it controls are temporarily reduced.<br />

Here are the latest factions in withdrawal:<br />

Crimson State Group<br />

Limapa Blue State Commodities<br />

V886 Centauri Future<br />

Peng Dung Jet Creative Network<br />

Bureau of Tetrian Liberty Party<br />

Almas Corporation<br />

Defence Party of NLTT 57668<br />

Paletes Interstellar<br />

Arapathaka Empire Party<br />

LP 350-75 Fortune Company<br />

Factions are considered to be in withdrawal if their level of influence within a system drops below a certain level. If the faction's influence remains low for a total of five days, the faction must leave the system entirely. If the faction manages to increase its level of influence, it remains in the system.
